Kashita Miyagi

"For me, AKBoo48 is a chance to live."

Kashita Miyagi is one of the current members of AKB0048 and a kenkyuusei of the 151th generation. As Idol, she is also known by the nicknames Miyachan, Miya and Miyaya. By some of the members, she is also called Gun-Girl.

Personality
Usually, Miyagi acts like a nice, cure and polite girl to trick other. The real Miyagi is a cold and serios girl, who knows what she wants. She doesn't like people, who just know "one side" of life. She says, there are two sides: one side, which you can compare with the stage and another side, you can compare with a battle ground. Every side is dangerous, but one side is known by everyone, the other is like a secret place. She is sometimes sardistic, if she can do something what others can't. She has some very "interesting" ideas. She hates the fact, that she can't read. She is afraid of deep water because she can not swim. Sometimes, she is a bit dreamy, because she daydreams of being a successor. She always sings Manatsu no Sounds good! or Kokoro no Placard.

Skills
Miyagi has good battle skills and othen says, that she can be better. In real, she trusts her skills a lot. She is better with rifles than with Micsabers, because her mother teached her the usage of diffrent rifles and she preferes dancing over singing but the battle overall. Because of the lessons, her mother gave her, she probably has always a back-up plan. She even has a second plan for the succession. If someone other succed Mayuyu, she tries to succed Yukirin.

She is also a good actress. This talent was used by her when she lived on Tekistar to trick other people and steel things. She wants to be an actress in the future. Her talent to trick people is often called by herself as her special talent. However, she isn't that good in tricking people who know her real self.

She left school with eleven and never was good in basic things like numeracy, reading and writing. Today, she can't read mostly every word, esspacilly with names, she has huge problems. She confuses Kanji often with modern art. Fortunately, many people, even some members, think, this is played by herself.

She often had prommised herself that she would learn reading and writing, but she probably never will do that.

Apparance
Miyagi has black, short hair which she usually wears in two pigtails. Her eyes are dark blue. Some days before she arrived on the Flying Get, she had cut her hairs down. Because of this, her hair is very short. Like every member of AKB0048, she has heart shaped sparkle in her hair and eyes.

Miyagi is sporty but usually wears cute and lovely clothes. Those clothes are usually with dark blue accessoires.

She decided the Heavy Rotation Outfit as her favourite stage outfit, because she loves cats. She has some accessoires wich look very simular to the Uniform. Where she got them is unknown.

Despite she says and also thinks, that she doesn't interesst for her apparance, she looks in every mirror.

Past
Miyagi grew on Tekistar up, a planet with the largest crime rate in the galaxy. Because of this, she leave school with 11. Then, she wanted to be like her mother and her grandmother, so there wasn't a reason for school. Despite she quiet school, she always says to her brother, that school is important. She started to learn to steal things with 5 and her mother teached her to use a gun as she was 8 years old. She knew AKB0048 since her chieldhood and also entertainment but wasn't very interest to join.

Auditions
As Miyagi was 14, her mother was injured during a job. Her mother was a long time in the hospital and Miyagi ran out of money. Just as she went on a rampage, she saw a television broadcast of AKB0048 and came up with an idea. Miyagi knew, that her mother had still enought money, but she decided, that she wanted a better and more safe life then her mother. She decided to join AKB0048. She audditioned for the 151st generaton, despite, she didn't trust her skills. After she send the auddition, she telled her plan to her little brother, Shouta. He supported her, even he was afraid of a life without his sister, who had protected him from others. Miyagi told him, that this was something like a new beginning for her. She cut her hair down them.

River Selecion
While arriving on the Flying Get, she met her Kirara. She named it "Zelle", because she first thought, it would be a big cell. Fortunately, Miyagi made it through the first round, without great dancing or singing skills. Perhaps her idol like appearance helped her. Later, she met Honoka and started to become something like friends with her. She wasn't able to wait on the selection.

Later, she was in the rifle-group along with Honoka, who helped her some minutes ago with the group names. Miyagi was in the rifle-group and soon had the idea to "play a battle" because Honoka said, that she first should ask Motomiya-san, she went asking her. Later, the idea was allowed.

When Motomiya-san announced the break, Miyagi and Honoka went together to the canteen. There, they met the other soon-to-be members of the 151st generation and as well Aoi, Mariko and Ai. The girls talked about diffrent things.

When the girls went back to training, Miyagi had an one-to-one fight with Honoka. Later, both girls fight against the others. When the other girls arrived, they first fought everyone against everyone, later they played a game called 'ghost ball'. Miyagi was the ghost.

Her new sister
While she was a kenkyuusei, her mother telled her through a letter, that Shouta, Miyagi's little brother, had found an unconscious girl next to their house. She didn't remeber anything about her and didn't knew anything about Tekistar, so her mother adopted her. Miyagi didn't like the fact, because she knew, that her mother didn't need someone more.

Akane, which she was named now, worked to help her new family, so Miyagi was okay with having her as sister. Akane also telled her of her plan, to join 0048 someday, because she didn't want to be a Burdon to the family.

Tekistar

The hole planet is often separated in two parts. One part is a modern, business part where many rich people live, and the other part, the underground and the suburbs. There, crime is something daily. The down town of Yeka has a strong police and security, but still not enought to stop the suburbs. Miyagi's home is in the suburbs. AKB0048 is famous there, because the group is illegal.
